1 Power Window problem of the 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Failure Date: 11/10/2004

Convertible top around back glass window in convertible top of my 2001 Mitsubishi spyder Eclipse is comming apart. Window is getting ready to fall out. Upon callinga repair shop, bay auto glass in daphne alabama, they tell me they see this a lot in this car and the only way to fix it is to replace the whole convertible top estimate of $1050. 00!! window could infact come loose while driving - where it would go or damage it would do, I do not know. If someone was riding in the back seat - I suppose it could hit them in the head or face or fly out and hit a vehicle following.

I have owned my care for 3 years. In that time I have had a leaking sunroof, broken passenger rear view mirror, broken passenger window "wont roll up", numerous tire changes, bad vibration, horrible noises when turning wheel, have replaced 2 transmissions, both tie rod ends, 1 lower ball joint and control arm suspension bar"more info on this below", alternator, both headlights, 4 differant seats of breaks, 2 seats constintly running low on oil, replaced the fuel filter, seat belts don't stop, battery cables keep caroding, replace spark plugs atleast 3 to 4 times a year, vibrates when going down road. Those are just the things off the top of my head that I have done to this car. Now to the accident. After I got off work I was on my way home when I decided to go to my friends so while driving to her house I hear a loud pop and the next thing I know my car is controling itself and I can't steer it. This was all do to my lower ball joint shattering and my wheel almost completly detaching from my car. Now the other side is starting to make that horrible noise. The control arm swung on the bottum of my car after it broke during this and tore out my oil filter, oil pan, and oxygen senseor. Have yet to recieve any information from Mitsubishi.
